Democrats pick up seats in both Suffolk and Nassau legislatures
Democrats picked up a seat in both the Nassau and Suffolk County Legislatures Tuesday, with one GOP incumbent defeated in Suffolk and one open seat going Democratic in Nassau.
With virtually all precincts reporting late Tuesday, Democrat Greg Doroski in Suffolk's 1st District defeated Republican Legis. Catherine L. Stark for the North Fork seat. No other incumbents were ousted in either county, although final results were not yet conclusive late Tuesday night in Nassau's 9th district, where incumbent Republican Scott P. Strauss was leading Democrat Juleigh Chin.
Suffolk Democratic chairman Richard Schaffer said the results showed: “In Suffolk County, when we get knocked down, we get right back up and we’re ready to fight."
Democrats picked up a seat in Nassau's 14th District, where Cynthia Nunez, who is not registered with a party but ran on the Democratic line, beat Republican Sheharyar Ali. Nunez will replace Republican Legis. C. William Gaylor III of Lynbrook, who did not seek reelection.
